Funded places on suicide alertness, suicide intervention and mental health training

From Grassroots training.

“We are very happy to be able to offer a number of funded suicide alertness, suicide intervention and mental health training places, provided by Public Health, Brighton & Hove City Council.

“We are asking participants to contribute a small amount (£6 for half-day, £16 for 2-day) towards the cost of the training. This will go towards essential admin, as well as refreshments and venue hire, and will allow us to provide more training in a more sustainable way. Please note that funded places are not available for the ‘MHFA: Mental Health First Aid’ course.”
